Vector Run:  Human / Mobile Trampoline Bonding Experiment

Don't let the title fool you... this is a cute and clean 2 player co-op puzzle game set in the Vector Run universe.

This is a physics-based puzzle game for 1 or 2 players starring your hero and a mobile trampoline.  The object is to get either you or the trampoline to the portal to advance to the next level.

I made this game as a 2 player co-op game (one controls the player, the other controls the trampoline), and after completion, I thought that it needed a 1 player variant for the people like me that have no friends and want to play it yet.  So I created a 1 player version in the game as well... the controls take a while to get used to, but it's the best I could come up with to make the game work with 1 player.

If you play the game in the browser on here, you can only play the 1 player version.  If you select 2 players,  you aren't going to get that far.

RULES:

Either the player or the trampoline must reach the portal to advance to the next level, and avoid the spikes.

CONTROLS:

2 PLAYERS: Directional pad: movement | A button: jump

1 PLAYER: Directional pad: movement | A button: jump | Hold down B while using the directional pad or pressing A: move the trampoline

FUN FACTS:

- For the 1 player variant, there are many areas that will require the trampoline to jump and for your player to bounce off the trampoline while it's jumping to get a higher jump.  You will quickly notice that, when you hold down A and B to jump, then move your player, the trampoline will move as well, possibly into spikes... the best way to get around that is to press A and B to make the trampoline jump, then let go of the buttons, then move the player.  That will allow the trampoline to drop straight down while you move the player.

- When you reach the end of the experiment, you don't have to leave the room right away... if you try moving and jumping around to try to reach various places in that room, a secret may appear!

- The artwork and graphics for this game were very difficult to do because of how the Vector Run Trilogy ended... it ended with (SPOILER ALERT) the player saying that he was never going to leave their world again... and so, for continuity purposes, this entire game had to be set in the Vectrex world of Vector run, which meant all graphics had to be in black and white and vector-y... and, believe me, it's hard trying to keep things looking fresh when you only have that style to work with!
